If England Had Remained Catholic

don't be too quick to believe all you read on his thread today. From my recall and recollection I question a number of these comments. Take all with a grain of salt!

I was referring to the one fact of Gutenburg’s being a Catholic, which is supported, I see, by general sources on his life.

Elpadre, why shouldn't your completely vague and uninformed "questioning" be taken with an even bigger grain of salt?

Johannes Gutenberg died in 1468. The so-called "Reformation" famously began in 1517. Gutenberg died 15 years before Luther was born.

Saying that Gutenberg was not a Protestant is about as historically controversial as saying that Rita Hayworth was not a Spice Girl.

It seemed an odd comment to me, too, but I figured, “Oh well.”

I really wsn’t concerned about the Gutenburg but the thread in general - and for that, yes, a bigger grain of salt.

sorry for the confusion
